He works at the fairground as "Stump the Guesser", who can guess anything for a fee. But suddenly his tricks stop working. And then he unwittingly falls in love with his sister whom he believed to be lost. He sets out to scientifically disprove the theory of heredity and marry his beloved as soon as possible. An absurdist firework of a silent film in black and white. (imdb)

a funny short about id and ego, desire and knowledge, freedom and control, that brought to mind COSMOPOLIS for how it follows the downfall/liberation of a man who's frightened and exhilarated by cracks and defects appearing in his perfectly ordered universe. maddin has probably never so blatantly bastardised the soviets as with this green screen-dominated digital version of their montage, lending a certain stickiness to images of a man selling out to the state. anyway, it's fun!

"Guessing at work. Guessing at home. TROTSKY BEAR! REAL CRABS!" I wish Guy Maddin could make all of the movies in all of the world.
